(3/4 would not hold, either.) Incidentally, Simtel20 currently uses .arc. Chyde.uwasa.fi uses whatever compression method the files had when received with two exceptions. I apply .zip in directory /pc/pd2/ and .arc in directory /pc/ts/ as a rule. On the average .arc is clearly the most prevalent method at chyde.uwasa.fi. ...................................................................
